Tori Spelling Speaks Out for the First Time Since Separation Announcement

Tori Spelling has broken her silence on her separation from Dean McDermott.

The Beverly Hills, 90210 alum made a short, but specific statement when asked by paparazzi about the state of her marriage and recent split.

"I've always looked better on my own," Spelling curtly told the videographer, who was filming her as she exited a Target in the San Fernando Valley, per TMZ.

This update comes a month after McDermott announced in (a since deleted) Instagram message that he and Spelling had decided to go their separate ways.

He wrote at the time, "It’s with great sadness and a very very heavy heart that after 18 years together and 5 amazing children, that @torispelling and I have decided to go our separate ways, and start a new journey of our own."

McDermott, who shares kids Beau, 6, Finn, 10, Hattie, 11, and Stella, 15,  and Liam, 16  with Spelling, added, "We will continue to work together as loving parents and guide and love our children through this difficult time. We ask that you all respect our privacy as we take this time to surround our family with love and work our way through this. Thank you all for your support and kindness."

In the weeks following the news, Spelling's mom Candy Spelling, 77, vocalized her support for the Scary Movie 2 actress. "[Tori's] doing great," she told TMZ earlier in July.

While the Spelling matriarch didn't speak on specifics surrounding her daughter's breakup, she added, "I love my daughter and I support her in whatever she does."

Spelling and McDermott wed back in May 2006 in a private ceremony in Fiji. They've since faced several highs and lows in their relationship, including a 2013 infidelity scandal after it was alleged that the former Chopped Canada host had been unfaithful.

The pair worked through their marital issues on their Lifetime series, True Tori.
